Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed and it resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Make the Apple Filling
- In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with cinnamon. Set aside.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
Assemble the Cheesecake
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust.
- Evenly distribute the spiced apple mixture over the filling, then pour the remaining cheesecake mixture on top, smoothing it out.
Add the Crumble Topping
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and oats. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the cheesecake.
Bake
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Cool
- Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.
